Get ready for confusion. Yahhh!!

 

[Jake]

ok another wtf moment

The regular new 3DS will be $219.95 and the new 3DS XL will be $249.95 - a $30 difference wtf???

The shells will probably be between $10-$15 (maybe even $20 idfk) so if you buy a reguler new 3DS and 2 shells you may as well have bought a new 3DS XL???/

consoles dont come with AC adapters wtf like the 3DS XL came with one but didn't in other countries now they're deciding to get rid of it??

battery cradle is $14.95

regular new 3ds comes in white, and the new 3DS XL comes in metallic blue and metallic black

Yup, someone messed up there.

I'll still get the normal New 3DS because of the covers, but wtf I don't understand the AC adapter not coming with it (I kinda got why it wasn't in Japan.) but oh well I guess? But the XL price to me is again wtf?! A normal 3DS XL here costs $320 NZD, and a normal 3DS $250 NZD.

the pricing is so messed up LOL i was gonna get a regular new 3ds because i figured it'd be a lot cheaper (like $200) and the i'd but like one shell for it but legit $30 cheaper wtf why would I buy that over an XL??? I AM SO CONFUSED I DO NOT UNDERSTAND

also here's the vid if you wanna watch

I just wanted the New 3DS over the covers and well I thought it was cheaper too????
If the prices are really this... messed up I might as well go for the XL but IDK.

and thank you I will watch it now.

cover/shell prices haven't been announced so I was just speculating, but I doubt they'd be any less than $10 and $15 seems like a price they'd go for

 

[Chibi.Hoshi]

I converted the prices from AUD to NZD from today's currency rate.
219.95AUD - 241.25NZD (New Nintendo 3DS)
249.95AUD - 273.11NZD (New Nintendo 3DS XL)

The New 3DS is pretty close to the normal 3DS price in NZ, but the XL wow that's a difference.

Yeah, and I agree with you with the prices. It's likely.

 

[Lassy]

Um. I hope that for the XL that for outside of Japan it won't be the same colors. I don't like dark blue or black, it's too dark. My 3DS's L button is starting to not work wonders which sadens me because I always too so well care of my consoles and I don't understand where it went wrong (have the normal DS and it still works without any problems). I am going to buy surely the new 3DS XL since my L is going to die one day.

kinda weird they didn't announce the NZ prices along with the AU ones?? I'll see if i can find them

Well they did say it was suggest prices. So it's not official yet?
But I don't imagine the NZ prices to be far off from the AU prices, and thank you. <3

Sorry about your XL, well their might be different or more colors for Europe (You're in Europe right?). You never know.

suggested price it just the RRP so it means that's the most expensive price it will be most likely.

also no prices for NZ but i was on EB Games NZ website and wtf $NZ and $AU are so different wtf??

Oh true, sorry I had a dumb moment.

I meant converted from AUD to NZD but IDK I am in derp mode. Forgot what I said.

All this news and prices are confusing me at the moment lol.

 

[Reindeer]

What. Why say "2015!!" at one time then it's later this year?
Oh well. I hope I'll have enough cash to get me one. I'm still on the fence about which one though.

- - - Post Merge - - -

And what pisses me off even more is that Japan and Oceania are getting this in 2014, then NOA and NOE are going "nah 2015". **** you, Nintendo.

they never said anything about AUS getting it in 2014/2015 so they never said "2015" then changed it to 2014.

and its nothing to get mad over lol. EU and US will get it early 2015 i'd say (no later than march tbh). and there's no point releasig it in AUS this year either. They're not releasing xenoblade until 2015 so its basically pointless 'til then LOL.

and japan gets everything first so idk why youre complaining about them

Fair enough on the Japan part, but if Oceania is getting it this year it just seems like the US and Europe should too. In fact, the system that's going to release there is pretty much the same one that's going to release here, as it's just an extension of the PAL region.

And with Amiibo being released later this year, there's enough reason to release it. I'm not gonna use some peripheral if a system has it incorporated.

AUS/NZ are pretty small compared to EU and US. They even said in the announcement video, that they've only sold a combined total of 700,000 3DS/3DSXL/2DS in Austraalia. Out of a population of 22,000,000+, that's pretty small.
So because of this it's easy to assume Australia is going to be a "guinea pig" country, to give a tease, since the demand is so small, there's not going to be a supply issue. Plus I'd also assume if there are any bugs/errors that they can patch them up before they release in EU and US where they're going to sell a lot more, saving hassle for them.

And if people in EU want one so bad they can just import one. Tbh I think it'll probably around the same price as it would be in EU anyway.

And I can't relate on the amiibo thing. I don't plan on getting Smash Bros 3DS so Amiibo for 3DS is obsolete for me this year

 

[Danielkang2]

So what is the price In us dollars?

 

[Jake]

So what is the price In us dollars?

theyre basically the same price as the regular 3DS and XL so whatever the price for them in USD is what they'll probs be

 

[Danielkang2]

That is so expensive! I'm going to predict they're going to do a massive price drop. I thought Nintendo said they are about the same price as the 3dses?!
